The Key to Good Health - Five Must Do's

We often take good health for granted, that is until we lose it! It's often only when something ails us that we are forced to consider good health, or the lack of it, with a bit more thought.

Good health, or wellness, is not just about an absence of illness or disease, rather it's an overall feeling of wellbeing that's made up of how we feel depending on what factors are impacting upon that feeling at any one point in our lives.

Now whilst we might not be able to control all of the factors that cause us to suffer dis-ease in our day to day lives there are a number of simple precautions that we as individuals should all take in order to minimize at least some of the risks that too many of us fail to recognize until it's too late.

If you can follow the Five must do's you'll be well on your way to maintaining your good health.

Five good health must do's are as follows;

* Stop Smoking

Smoking is the number one killer in western society today. It kills approximately 440,000 Americans every year, that's 1,205 a DAY.There's a myriad of websites offering advice that are available to those still smoking and we should all be working towards a smoke-free environment for all if the good health of all of us, smokers and non-smokers, is to be protected

* Eat well and exercise

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, "poor diet and physical inactivity" are now causing 400,000 deaths a year in the United States.

A simple mixed diet including a minimum of 400g of fruit and vegetables a day has been proven to help us stay healthy. Fruit and vegetables taste delicious and there's so much variety to choose from.

They're a good source of vitamins and minerals, including folate, vitamin C and potassium.They're an excellent source of dietary fibre, which helps maintain a healthy gut and prevent constipation and other digestion problems. A diet high in fibre can also reduce your risk of bowel cancer.

They can help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and some cancers.

Fruit and vegetables contribute to a healthy and balanced diet.If you take even some light exercise daily, you'll help your body maintain good health and lessen the risk of serious illnesses such as heart disease.

* Drink less alcohol

After smoking and poor eating and exercise habits, the next biggest self-inflicted killer we continually ignore is the excessive drinking of alcohol. A recent US Government study suggested that excessive alcohol consumption kills some 75,000 Americans each year.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which published the study, estimated that 34,833 people in 2001 died from cirrhosis of the liver, cancer and other diseases linked to drinking too much beer, wine and spirits.

Another 40,933 died from car crashes and other mishaps caused by excessive alcohol use.

We can enjoy a drink with no problems whatsoever providing we do it responsibly and we're aware of the dangers of over indulgence. Indeed there is evidence to suggest that light or moderate alcohol intake can actually be beneficial to our health.

* Don't get burned!

We all love the feeling of sunshine on our skin but beware, like many other things excess can be dangerous. Excessive exposure to strong sunlight can cause painful sunburn, sunstroke and may lead to more serious conditions such as skin cancers.

Always be aware of the UV index rating for your area and take appropriate precautions.

Proper use of sunscreens, appropriate clothing and sensible durations of exposure to the sun will allow all of us to enjoy the summer with none of the ill effects mentioned here.

* Be Happy!

Good health as I said at the beginning of this article is not just about avoiding or being aware of the physical dangers that are prevalent in our society; it's as much dependant on our mood, our outlook as anything else.

Are you a glass half-full or glass half-empty sort of person?

If we approach life with a positive attitude and (despite what I've written about today), we don't take ourselves too seriously, we can do wonders for our general feeling of wellbeing.

Sure, there'll be good days and bad days, some will be infinitely better than others but if we pay heed to the information above and if we approach each day with a feeling of excitement and relish, we'll be more than ready for life's challenges and good health will stand it's best chance of staying with us.

If you can follow all, or even most, of the five must do's for good health, you'll be doing yourself the biggest favor you could think of.

Best wishes,

The Digital Scotsman

The show is produced by Food Network, which also carried a dubbed version of the original Iron Chef. Like the original Japanese program, the program is a culinary game show. In each episode, a new challenger chef competes against one of the resident 'Iron Chefs' in a one-hour cooking competition based on a theme ingredient. The show is presented as a successor to the original Iron Chef, as opposed to being a remake. The Chairman is portrayed by martial artist Mark Dacascos, who is introduced as the nephew of the original Japanese chairman Takeshi Kaga. The commentary is provided solely by Alton Brown, and Kevin Brauch is the floor reporter.

HEALTH TIPS FOR WOMEN

Article by Fahim

It is really important for women to cater for their health and well being at all stages of life. Healthy diet in combination with a bit of physical activity keeps your body and mind active and rejuvenated. In today's busy life and hectic routine, women mostly neglect themselves and do not care about their health. Women are more prone to health issues than men, and especially after they cross the age of 30 they are likely to suffer from depression, anaemia, weaknesses, anxiety, weight gain, migraine etc. Women are mostly caught up with family responsibilities, child care, pregnancy, work life etc, and amidst all this they pay least attention to their own health and well being. All they need to realise is that their own health is foremost if they wish to carry out all the other tasks of life efficiently. Below are some everyday health care tips which women should try to follow in order to sustain their health. The most basic health tip includes drinking ample amount of water every day. Women should drink about 10 to 12 glasses of water during the day. Apart from that, they should include fresh fruits and vegetables in their diet. Green vegetables are highly preferable as they are rich in nutrients and vitamins. Women tend to suffer from osteoporosis after menopause, so they need to take diet rich in calcium as well. Most dairy products such as yogurt, cheese, milk etc are rich in calcium. Calcium is also good for women as it helps protect their bones and keep them strong for a longer period of time. Some sort of physical activity such as walk, cycling, exercise, and yoga also help to keep women active, energetic, and healthy over period of time. Moreover, exercise also helps in reduction of stress and anxiety problems in women. Students, housewives, and even working women should start their day with a healthy and big breakfast followed by a medium lunch and a relatively small dinner. Prefer taking lunch from home instead of eating out anything from your cafeteria. Make sure that what so ever you decide to eat is rich in nutrients and less in terms of caloric intake.Take time out for yourself each day to replenish and admire nature and blessings you are bestowed with. Live freely, and do what makes you happy at heart. Spend some quality time with your family and the people you love every day. Apart from keeping your mind active and body healthy, it is equally important to take care of your teeth as they play a vital role in keeping up your personality. Flossing your teeth daily is a good idea. Furthermore, prevent your teeth from all sorts of gum infections and brush them twice daily. Sleep is really important to keep yourself healthy and active. Irregular sleep routine results in slowing down the metabolism which may lead to weight gain in women. Furthermore, lack of sleep also disturbs the hormones in the body. So, make sure you get proper 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night.These are some of the tips which almost every woman can incorporate in her daily routine in order to sustain a healthy and well balanced life.

7 Health Tips for Children

7 Health Tips for Children

Article by Kya Grace

Having a fit and disease free body is extremely important even at a young age. A sound and fit body at a tender age can lay the foundation for a healthy life in the later years. Recently there has been a rise in diseases like diabetes, cholesterol, high blood pressure, kidney stones etc. not only in adults but also in young children. The rise in lifestyle related diseases can be attributed majorly to the lack of physical activity and unhealthy eating habits. 7 health tips for children have been discussed here. Following each of them can help in overall development of your child.

A Healthy breakfast

A good and nutritious breakfast is the best way to begin a day. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Eating nutritious food like eggs, fruits, juices, whole-grain bread sandwiches, cereals, oatmeals, yoghurt, low-fat or non-fat cheeses, and a glass of skimmed milk can provide wholesome nutrition to the child. Instead of having the same breakfast every morning, parents can experiment by having different foods for breakfast everyday. It is very important to inculcate into the child's mind, the importance of a healthy breakfast. A wholesome breakfast provides your child energy for the physical and mental activities of the day.

Exercise

Children get easily bored doing the same stretching exercises again and again. Boot camp exercises are a type of exercises that can be simplified such that children have fun while doing them and also do not get over-stressed. Doing pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, running fast, jumping around, hopping and arm circles as a part of the boot camp workout increases their strength, resistance and agility. The main advantage of these exercises is that they can be tailored to suit a child's liking. Doing boot camp workouts regularly has been seen to help in the overall development of the child.

Healthy meals

Kids should be given meals that are high in vitamins, proteins and minerals. It is very important to have fresh fruits and vegetables as a part of their diet. Cereals, a sandwich, crackers, fruit-salads or a glass of low fat milk if given to the child in the evening can prevent him form snacking on pastries, cookies and fries.

Eat junk food, but keep an eye on how much is eaten

It is a given fact that kids love fast food like burgers, pizzas, pastas, fries, pastries, cookies, ice-creams and chocolates. Parents should take care to see that children eat fast-foods but in a controlled quantity. Children should also be taught that too much of any food can prove injurious to their health. Teaching them to control their intake of such foods helps in the long run since they learn the value of self-control.

Drink lots of water

Drinking lots of water helps flush out toxins from the body. It also helps in the proper distribution of vitamins, proteins and minerals every system of the body. It helps in proper development of the body of the child. Many diseases like kidney stones can be prevented by consuming large amounts of water.

Engage in physical activity with friends

Physical activity may not mean just exercise. Playing sports like tennis, cricket, swimming, running, jogging keeps the mind fit and alert. Rather than spending time watching television or playing video games, children should be encouraged to play with friends. It is also a very good idea to arrange outdoor games or picnics where children get a chance to play and run around with other kids of their age.

Proper sleep

Getting proper rest and sleep is very important for the healthy development of a child. Only a child who has had a fitful sleep and complete rest at night can do well academically and well as in extra-curricular activities. About 9-13 hours of sleep are a must for your kid's physical and mental health.

Weight Loss Motivation- Health or Beauty, The Photoshop Effect, Psychetruth Nutrition

http://bit.ly/oIlj4E

Visit our website www.psychetruth.co Weight Loss Motivation- Health or Beauty, The Photoshop Effect, Psychetruth Nutrition In this free video, Corrina asks- can we really look like fashion models and move stars? She discusses different motivations for weight loss and if we want to lose weight for self esteem and body image and because we think we'll feel better about ourselves or whether we want to lose weight to improve our health and overall wellness. What is our weight loss goal? Is it healthy? Is it out of fear of what others think of us, how we think we should look? How can we really feel better about ourselves? Most of us would like to lose weight and have a more trim, more sexy body, but being a magazine cover model isn't realistic for many reasons, including the photoshop effect and touch-ups done to nearly all photos we see in magazines and billboards. Sometimes people sacrifice their health to obtain a desired aesthetic, this may be plastic surgery, prescription or over the counter drugs, unhealthy dieting or worse. This video also mentions the issue of eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia and the new fad of thinspirations or thinspos to inspire women (and men) to be extremely thin. The thinspo has become popular and while this video does not speak to eating disorders directly, it does point out that there are so many pro-ana and pro-ed groups out there, the obsession with thin may be going too far.

20 More Weight Loss Tips For Teens

Article by Ian Russell

20 More Weight Loss Tips For Teens

Teen Weight Loss Tip 1 - Elective surgery should, of course, only be considered in the most extreme of circumstances and would always follow medical advice anyway. If you are in a situation where surgery is an option you must be aware that it can have the most serious of consequences.Teen Weight Loss Tip 2 - Vitamin supplements are fine, however as with any medication consult a medical professional first.

Teen Weight Loss Tip 3 - During your diet don't cut out desserts as your body still needs some types of fat. To stay healthy you have to ensure that your body gets the nutrients it needs, so you can eat dessert, but be sensible about it.

Teen Weight Loss Tip 4 - Try some brisk walking & don't use the car so much.
